Final..

 

Moderna's CEO Stephane Bancel said it's "reasonable" to assume that we may be approaching the final stages of the pandemic.

"I think that is a reasonable scenario," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia" when asked about views that the Covid-19 pandemic may now be in its final stages.

Some studies have shown that while the omicron variant appears more contagious, it generally doesn't make people as sick as the delta strain does.

Health officials have also highlighted that omicron's threat may be fading.

White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci also said last month that it's still an "open question" about whether the omicron variant will mark the final wave of the pandemic. Light at the end of the tunnel.
